Due to predicted rain and wind, the Art and Craft Fair Committee has made the difficult decision to reschedule Saturday's Art and Craft Fair to Sunday, starting at 11 a.m. Join us as we invite local artisans to display and sell their creations on the church grounds. In addition, there will be a chinese auction, a raffle, and hot dogs. Start your Christmas shopping early, and support the outreach of Orient Congregational Church at the same time.

We Worship Outdoors This Summer

Whenever the weather permits (which is most of the time), we will be holding our 9:30 a.m. Sunday worship outdoors this summer. Join us as we worship in "God's Cathedral Under the Sky." This week, we are pleased to welcome The Rev. Freeman Palmer, Associate Conference Minister, to our outdoor pulpit. Join us!

Our Strategic Planning Task Force has been meeting regularly, with the purpose of setting goals for our congregation for the years to come. Minutes from each meeting are available to church members. If you would like to be sent a link to the minutes and other documents of the Task Force, please contact the Church Office. You may telephone (631-323-2665), e-mail (orientcong@optonline.net), or use the "contact us" feature of this website.
